I'm more curious about who greenlit this project at Monday. Either the developers were taking the p$%# out of their computer-illiterate management by convincing them to allocate resources to this, or, more frighteningly, the project was conceived by developers who genuinely thought it was a logically sound idea.

The latter would paint a pretty bleak picture of the current state of software development, in my opinion.

The internet has been dying for the past decade. This might just be the final nail in the coffin.

Honestly, I’m all for accelerating the death of the current internet. The web in its current form is miserable - algorithmic sludge, ads, bots, SEO spam, ragebait, AI filler.

I’m more interested in what grows out of the rubble, because this version clearly isn’t it.

Google made an egalitarian web, where money doesn't matter and attention does.

They did? Could have sworn their whole business model up until the other day was attention for whomever can pay the highest bid for their ad space.. I guess I've been doing it wrong

Over engineered implies the codebase was inflated with some kind of rationale by the AI, but there is none. It's just code vomit with duct tape

which only makes things worse

Could you explain what problem you feel you're facing exactly. From my perspective I'm envious that you have enough drive that the only issue is you can't stop working, I want that so bad. Obviously i'm missing a key bit of info

I mean theres no doubting you're 100% right. I actually met this self described actor last week on my travels over here, he basically went all in on the goal of trying to be an actor I think only a couple years ago. Mind you he's only playing short films but the drive and excitement he has, thats the kind of friend I wish I had. Of course it was a fleeting friendship as he lives in a different country but a great friendship would make things easier thats for sure

My friends all work and aren't focused on anything other than paying off their mortgages and living stable lives. Which is good but the deep conversations are mostly about how unsatisfied they are with the cost of living which in turn makes me more anxious to try something new. Basically I have no entrepreneurial dreamer friends
